Indienne

Indienne is the only Michelin-star Indian restaurant in Chicago, and it offers an unforgettable dining experience. Reservations must be made online in advance, and when booking, you can choose from veg, non-veg, or vegan tasting menus. We opted for the non-veg tasting menu, which includes seven tasting options, with the option to add extras for an additional price, finishing with a delicious dessert and treats. The entire menu was exceptional—each dish was mouth-watering, stylishly presented, and bursting with flavor. The service was excellent, with knowledgeable staff who explained every dish and were flexible in offering recommendations and adjusting meat options. Indienne is highly recommended for special occasions with friends or family, or even a memorable date night. If you’re in Chicago and looking to explore high-quality, flavorful Indian cuisine, Indienne is definitely worth a visit!

Indienne was a fantastic experience. The atmosphere and service is top notch with very knowledgeable staff. This is important as an explanation is certainly needed to understand the delicately crafted dishes being served. We had the non-veg tasting menu and the unique dishes were all beautiful with wonderful flavors that has a resemblance only in taste to familiar Indian items.

We had some very mixed feelings about Indienne but ultimately it did not live up to our expectations, not by a long way. We are huge fans of Indian food and India itself, we eat Indian food regularly and eat at fine dining establishments several times a month. We have eaten at top rated Indian restaurants in London, the middle east and India. The surroundings at Indienne are nice (first time we had been in this space since it was Graham Elliott) and the staff we encountered were all very pleasant and professional. However, we felt like the food and wine were at best average and did not live up to the price point. The amuses were nice, as were our cocktails, but $26 for a gin and tonic is crazy. I could have had a better one at The Aviary or Violet Hour for $5 less. The first course of a lentil donut sounded good but was too sweet, it was more like a desert. The scallop was lovely. The lamb rib was just fat, no meat but the patty was good. The bread was nice but it cost extra .... yes an extra charge for the bread. The crab (a supplemental course for an additional $21) was nice, but $21 for less than an ounce of crab and some rice? The chicken was nice, as was the black dahl that accompanied it. The naan that came with it was nice and it was "free". The chocolate desert was decent. We also did the wine pairing and they were the stingiest pours we've ever had, perhaps 2oz, if that. Between the entire pairing courses we receive the equivalent of perhaps 2.5 glasses of wine. All in all we felt like the $700 price tag for the 2 of us did not represent a good value, in fact it felt excessive for the quality of the meal. On our way home I couldn't help but think that we should have just had delivery from Cumin, bought a couple of bottles of wine and kept $550 in our bank account.
